You'll work alongside and guide the teams responsible for managing that data, and use it to measure our performance and build the interfaces our customers rely on. Working with growers in Canada, Europe</span><u><span style="color:teal;text-decoration:underline;white-space:pre-wrap;">,</span></u><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;"> and Australia and occasionally visiting our deployments at their sites, you will come to have an in-depth understanding of mushroom growing, if not a genuine appreciation for it.</span></p><p style='font-family:"Basel Grotesk",Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:15pt;letter-spacing:0.25px;margin:0cm 0px 8pt;padding:0px;text-align:start;'><br></p><h3 style='font-family:"Basel Grotesk",Arial,sans-serif;line-height:15pt;font-size:14pt;font-weight:600;letter-spacing:0.25px;margin-top:10pt;margin-bottom:2pt;text-align:start;padding-left:0px;'><span style="font-size:14pt;white-space:pre-wrap;">The Successful Candidate</span></h3><p style='font-family:"Basel Grotesk",Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:15pt;letter-spacing:0.25px;margin:0cm 0px 8pt;padding:0px;text-align:start;'><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;">If any of the following sounds like you and if this is where you aspire to learn and to take your career, you may be a great fit for robotics engineering at 4AG. </span></p><p style='font-family:"Basel Grotesk",Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:15pt;letter-spacing:0.25px;margin:0cm 0px 8pt;padding:0px;text-align:start;'><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;">You've worked with hardware before, and you understand what it takes to interface with sensors and motor drives and to coordinate multiple autonomous systems. The thought of debugging multiple 50 kg machines inside an active mushroom-growing room sounds like a good time. The thought of building the remote diagnostics, tooling</span><u><span style="color:teal;text-decoration:underline;white-space:pre-wrap;">,</span></u><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;"> and testing that keep those machines running without engineers on site sounds even better. You understand the work required to take a prototype and put it into production.</span></p><p style='font-family:"Basel Grotesk",Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:15pt;letter-spacing:0.25px;margin:0cm 0px 8pt;padding:0px;text-align:start;'><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;">You've implemented perception and/or control features. You can stitch depth images together, use them to localize, and generate the trajectories to act on them. You've targeted and tracked something with a vision system and then grasped it with a manipulator, in simulation or in real life. You understand the role that intrinsic and extrinsic calibration plays in sensor fusion.</span></p><p style='font-family:"Basel Grotesk",Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:15pt;letter-spacing:0.25px;margin:0cm 0px 8pt;padding:0px;text-align:start;'><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;">You've worked with modern robotics tooling: simulation, visualization, logging</span><u><span style="color:teal;text-decoration:underline;white-space:pre-wrap;">,</span></u><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;"> and frameworks such as ROS2. You can remotely diagnose and update a system on the other side of the planet, and you know what it takes to manage a fleet of robots across multiple sites. You understand the power of modern A.I. tools, but you’re still in the driver’s seat. Most of all, you're genuinely curious about robotics and technology and how they apply to agriculture and the natural world. You're willing to chart your own course while building a product that has never been fielded before, and to dig into the finer details and the data behind mushroom harvesting.</span></p><p style='font-family:"Basel Grotesk",Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:15pt;letter-spacing:0.25px;margin:0cm 0px 8pt;padding:0px;text-align:start;'><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;">This role requires broad expertise, grit, and a willingness to learn new things in mushroom agriculture, robotics</span><u><span style="color:teal;text-decoration:underline;white-space:pre-wrap;">,</span></u><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;"> and business.
